Guys, I’m conflicted. Azealia Banks has bars and can sing her hind regions off when need be. She makes solid music to dance your pain away while still getting a few thoughts in there. It’s just something about her troll-esque nature that always makes me second-guess checking her music–even if/when she’s speaking truths. It’s actually […]
Read moreSOTBMusic Retrospective: @BIGKRIT – Live From The Underground
A little over five years ago, Big K.R.I.T. dropped his first official release, Live From The Underground.
